Five tips for SaaStr Europa 2019 in Paris: download the Saster Events app and reserve seats for sessions, schedule brain dates with VCs and experts, learn French networking shorthand like "reu N" for meeting, and hit happy hours both nights with live music and a silhouette artist.
Europa is so close now. It's all going down June 12th and 13th in the heart of Paris. So here are the five things you need to know before you go. Number one, make sure you download the Sastor Events mobile app. It's available for both iPhone and Android devices. All you have to do is go to your app store, search for Saster Events, download the app and just log in with the email you used to register for Saster Europa.
The second thing you have to know, once you've downloaded the app, go to the agenda tab and reserve your seat. In the session, you'll see a little icon that says reserve my seat. Touch it and you're ready to go.
Your seat's reserved. It's as easy as that. Next, what you should do is schedule a brain date. These are super cool one on one and small group mentor sessions where you can meet the new mentor of your dreams or teach somebody something new.
Looking for something a little bit bigger, but not as big as a session. We do have super brain dates this year. That means on Wednesday morning and throughout the day and Thursday morning we'll have VCs for you to meet with and experts and fields talking about tactical topics in a one on ten setting.
Yeah, we'll be talking about customer success, demand gen, content marketing, analytics. We brought together the best subject matter experts and hand picked them just for you guys to learn from in these micro sessions called pre dates.
The next thing you need to know before you go, what's some shorthand you can use if you're a little bit lost in translation?
Ooh, I'm gonna love this because I have no very basic, basic French. I can only say apple. I'm not gonna embarrass myself by saying it. How do I say something like meeting?
So the way you say meeting is reu N. If you want to make a meeting, just say I'd like to have a reu with you and they'll meet you there.
Oh, I like that. During the meeting I need to ask them for their business card.
The French word for business card is queue. So remember those three words and you'll have a new connection.
Okay, that's amazing. And then what if the meeting is so good we want to all get drinks after, how do I invite them out for drinks?
So the shorthand for happy hour or drinks is atero. And we're doing a happy hour in the expo hall both days.
We are, which is the fifth thing you should know before you go faster. Aroha is not just about the amazing content, but also the people you can meet on site during the show. So we'll have a happy hour both days. The one on Wednesday will have a jazz band. We'll have lots of food and drink. And the one on Thursday we'll have a rockin DJ to close out the entire event.
I also heard there's rumors there'll be a live Silhouetteist.
There will be.
Personally, I'm most looking forward to that. We'll see you there. See you soon.
